168 Chapter 167, Can The Truth Be Bought With Money
Li Xu’s shop opened as usual.
After all, she wasn’t the one who caused Shen Mei’s car accident. Moreover, she wasn’t related to Shen Mei. In fact, they even had grudges.
It was already extremely kind of her to call 120 and 110 for her in time.
As for the hospital and the police, Li Xu didn’t pay any more attention to them.
On the third day, the police came again.
It was the same two police officers from last time.
There were no customers in the shop, so Li Xu quickly stood up, “Officers!”
One of the short police officers said seriously, “Thank you for standing up and calling the police station and the hospital that day. But unfortunately, the person was still not saved. The person died that night. The family has already taken the body away.”
Shen Mei was dead? Li Xu was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at the two policemen and said politely, “This is what we should do.”
The tall policeman nodded, “It’s good that you have the awareness. This time, I’m not only here to tell you this news, but also to ask you for one more favor!”
Li Xu quickly said, “Officers, feel free to tell me. If I canbe of help, I will definitely help!”
“The perpetrator has been found. You are a witness at the scene. This time, I’m here to look for you to identify and see if it’s this person!” The policeman placed the photo in front of Li Xu.
Li Xu looked at the person in the photo and looked at the policeman with some hesitation, “It doesn’t seem to be…”
The two policemen looked at each other, then, the tall policeman’s expression became serious, “Look carefully, this person has already admitted that he was the driver of the accident. Moreover, what he said at that time was almost the same as what you said!”
The short policeman also said, “That’s right. If he wasn’t the driver of the accident, how could he know so much about the situation at that time?”
Li Xu looked at the photos in the hands of the two policemen and said in a low voice, “The two of them do look similar, but…”
Halfway through her words, Li Xu suddenly reacted.
She raised her head and looked at the expressions of the two policemen.
The expressions on their faces were very complicated. Helplessness, regret, anxiety…
Combined with the expressions of the policemen, everything gradually became clear.
This person took the initiative to admit that he was the driver of the accident, and he looked so similar to the real driver of the accident.
The truth of the matter was already very obvious.
The real driver of the accident must have found a scapegoat after the escape.
The real driver of the accident can drive such an expensive sports car, the family must be very rich.
As the saying goes, money makes the mare go. The real culprit must have given the scapegoat irresistible conditions.
Without her confession, everyone would be happy.
The real culprit used certain conditions to get out of jail. And the scapegoat also got something he wanted.
The police didn’t have to worry, and Shen Mei’s family might get a large sum of money.
That was if she did not give a confession!
However, she clearly knew that the person was not the real perpetrator, was she really going to ignore it?
Could the truth really be bought with money?
Shen Mei might have a grudge against her, but Shen Mei was not the only one.
If it was Shen Mei this time, who would it be next time?
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xu raised her head and said very seriously, “No, this person isn’t the culprit. The real culprit is someone else!”
Hearing Li Xu’s words, the two policemen were a little surprised.
Among them, the short policeman said in a low voice, “Did you really see it clearly? Did your children also see it clearly at that time?”
When this policeman spoke, his eyes were always looking at Li Xu.
That gaze made Li Xu feel a little scared.
It didn’t seem like he was just asking a question. It was more like he was reminding her that she still had three children.
If the real perpetrator knew that she was the one who provided the clues, it might be disadvantageous to them.
But…
“I believe in the police and the government, you will definitely restore the truth of the matter.” Li Xu smiled slightly, “I am sure that this person is not the perpetrator.”
The two policemen frowned slightly.
Surprise, appreciation, gratification…
“Okay, we will report this clue. We will continue to investigate this case. Thank you for your cooperation,” The tall policeman said, “I will leave you my number. If you have anything or remember anything, give me a call.”
Li Xu quickly found a piece of paper and the tall policeman wrote his number on it.
After the policeman left, Li Xu sat down on the chair, feeling exhausted.
She didn’t know if she had made the right decision, but she knew that if the children knew about this, they would definitely be proud of her.
With this thought in mind, Li Xu forced herself to stand up and gave Zhang Kun a call.
However, when the call went through, the guard said, “Chef Zhang is not here today. He went out. Who are you? Is there anything you need from Chef Zhang?”
Li Xu asked curiously, “Then do you know why he went out?”
“It seems to be related to the house he bought. He said that he went out to do some business. We have to eat by ourselves at noon!” The guard said regretfully.
The matter of the house? Could it be that the landlord came back to do the handover with him?
“If you are looking for Chef Zhang for something, I will let him know and give you a call when he’s back!”
...
Li Xu immediately reacted and said hurriedly, “No need, no need. Sorry to trouble you.”
If it was really because of the matter of the house, Zhang Kun would definitely come over.
When he arrived at the house, would he be able to leave after finishing his business?
He would definitely come over and show his face!
Li Xu guessed it right. At around 10 o’clock in the afternoon, when it was almost 11 o’clock, Zhang Kun came over.
He held a transparent plastic bag in his hand, which contained a lot of documents.
His entire face was glowing red. When he arrived at the shop, he placed a bunch of keys on the cashier counter and asked, “Guess what this is?”
“The key to the opposite house?” Li Xu asked in a low voice.
Zhang Kun nodded, “Yes, the landlord gave me a call this morning and followed me to complete the rest of the procedures. He also gave me the keys, the house is completely ours.”
Hearing Zhang Kun’s words, Li Xu smiled, “Congratulations.”
However, this smile was more or less gloomy.
...
Zhang Kun quickly noticed it and asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”
Li Xu hesitated for a moment, but she still told Zhang Kun about the police who had come.
“I’m just worried that if the other party finds out, they will come and find trouble with me.”
The other party was a rich person, and she was just an ordinary person.
She raised her head and looked at Zhang Kun. Zhang Kun frowned, and his expression was very ugly.
Li Xu’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhang Kun felt that what she did was wrong?
“What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?” Li Xu said in a low voice, her voice somewhat perturbed.
